Shortly after celebrities began arriving on the red carpet at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, attention turned to one of the night's biggest fashion trends: metallics. Among those who wore them was Zendaya, who paired them with a coppery orange Louis Vuitton dress. Angelina Jolie chose a silver Alexander McQueen dress. And Cate Blanchett, also wearing a gold Vuitton ensemble that she previously wore at Cannes, sparkled like a statuette.
Shiny outfits brought sparkle to the colorful carpet, including pale pink Dior (Anya Taylor-Joy). Carolina Herrera (Kate Hudson) in the Navy. To the red Dolce & Gabbana (about Dakota Fanning). Since it was an awards ceremony, there was a lot of black. Most notable are the long black gloves that add an old-world feel to the ornaments.
Big stars from TV and film were also in attendance, and there was no shortage of fabulously glamorous formal wear. These 19 looks were some of the most memorable for both good and bad reasons.
Pamela Anderson: The most natural!
The Last Showgirl star continued to deny heavy make-up, instead wearing a black Oscar de la Renta dress and wearing almost no make-up.
Nicole Kidman: The most space-age!
The “Baby Girl” actress' mod bouffant hairstyle paired with a shimmering, silver-toned, one-shoulder Balenciaga dress evoked “The Jetsons” glamour.
Timothée Chalamet: The most Dylan!
The mustachioed star of Complete Unknown hasn't given up his Bob Dylan look just yet. Instead of a tie, he wore a sparkly suit by Tom Ford, accented with a folksy blue scarf.
Michelle Yeoh: The most witchy!
The skirt of the “Wicked” actress' Balenciaga dress dramatically fanned out at the hem, creating a broom-like silhouette.
Mikey Madison: Mostly goldfish!
Wearing a Bottega Veneta dress covered in gold enamel sequins, the “Anora” star looked like a 24-karat gold sea creature.
Demi Moore: The most sculptural!
The 'The Substance' star opted for an Armani Prive dress with a sculptural bodice that exposed her toned physique.
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande: The most curve ball!
After months of appearing in green and pink, the “Wicked” actresses defied expectations by opting for looks in neutral tones. Erivo wore a black and silver lace dress by Louis Vuitton, while Grande wore an archival Givenchy dress from the era. The label's spring 1966 couture collection.
Colman Domingo: The most coquette!
The “Sing Sing” actor seems to be sensing a trend known as the bow-heavy coquette. His Valentino tuxedo was complemented by an oversized bow-tied scarf and bow-embellished dress shoes.
Carla Sofia Gascon: Vitamin C is the best!
California's winter citrus season came to mind when I saw the “Emilia Perez” actress in a yellow-orange Saint Laurent dress. She said she chose this palette to remind viewers that light triumphs over darkness.
Kerry Washington: Most Cocooned!
The ruffles made it look as if the actress was enveloped in the Pepto Bismol pink fabric of her Balenciaga dress.
Jeremy Strong: The most Gumby!
Wearing a soft green Loro Piana suit and matching bucket hat, the “Apprentice” star reminded me of a certain clay cartoon character.
Viola Davis: Ichiban Disco!
The actress conjured up visions of party streamers and dance floors in a sequined Gucci dress that was a remake of a dress she wore at a recent gala.
The singer looked edgy and elegant in a rhinestone-accented Celine dress, which also exposed a number of her tattoos.
Glen Powell: The most Tom Cruise!
The “Hitman” and “Twisters” actor wears aviator glasses, an unbuttoned Armani shirt and a leering grin as he co-stars in “Top Gun: Maverick.” It looked eerily similar to.
Anna Sawai “The most dangerous!”
By opting for a white Dior bustier and skirt, the “General” actress took a fashion risk at an awards ceremony known for serving food and red wine.
Tilda Swinton: The best Tilda!
The “Next Room” star made her two-piece Chanel look look less stuffy with electric powder pink lipstick and an '80s new wave hairstyle.
Emma Stone: Shortest!
More notable than the actress' Louis Vuitton dress was her new pixie-style haircut, a dramatic cut that was directed by Yorgos, who directed her performance in the Oscar-winning Poor Things. Some speculated that it might be related to her role in Lanthimos' upcoming film.
Melissa McCarthy: Peonies are the best!
Viewed from behind, the actress' voluminous pink Christian Siriano ensemble, with its myriad pink ruffles, resembled a peony in full bloom.
